Be the Child!
Be the Child!
This could be a life story of any common mortal on the face of the Earth, however, it’s merely an imaginary story that pops into my mind.
Using imagination by purpose, I DARE YOU!
Design in your psyche this imaginary story about any child that comes to your mind. Do it, only and only if you dare to read…
Once upon a time, there was a young child wandering through life… wondering here… wondering there… wondering everywhere! This little one was shiny and bright… and looking for an adventurous life. The child searched here… searched there… she searched everywhere… but her story wasn’t there!
The child started to fade, and her imagination and dreams went to dust. She didn’t even remember her real name or what exactly was she doing there! So sad was this child walking through life with no purpose in sight. Her eyes stared at the ground, her shoulders felt heavy and tired, and her legs and feet were dragged along the ground.
One day, while walking through the woods completely drained, she saw this amazingly awkward fluffy creature jumping around and calling her attention. The girl was so sad and disillusioned, completely submerged in her thoughts that she didn’t take notice or care. The creature was persistent and caring, but, kept jumping around her… for hours, days, months. Wherever the little one went the fluffy friend followed her. One day, the child was so fed up with all the endless energy, that she started to insult the fluffy creature… but the fluffy creature didn’t recognize a single word… (‘sshhhh!’ – they didn’t speak the same language, but the angry child didn’t realize).
The fluffy creature only saw the little one waving her arms, moving her legs, and speaking loudly… the fluffy creature was so joyous and pleasant that she even jumped more and more around the child! The child was furious… the child was angry… the child went wild … the fluffy creature was even happier and more excited.
– My child is playing! My child is ruffling! She is trifling with me: she is waving her arms, moving her legs, and screaming her guts out… so I can run, jump, catch her and haul around her happily…
The fluffy creature just won the day! The little one was exhausted and the fluffy creature was full of energy!
The child thought… how can this be possible? We both spend the same amount of energy – you are happy and fully charged, and I am sad and depleted. What has happened here?
The fluffy creature was looking at the child with those tender sweet eyes, twisting its head in a striving attempt to understand her child’s new state of mind! And the fluffy creature was confused, that her eyes started to roll … the child, too tired to blaspheme the fluffy sweet creature, just stared … and stared … and stared! Her eyes seemed the same as those of the creature… rolling inside like an unstopping mind.
And they stared … and stared … eye to eye … mind to mind … soul to soul. No words were said… but the heart just spoke all the things that were thought by the eyes. They finally meet their truth through the unspoken words of the eyes and the tenderness of the heart.
As a wise teacher once said ‘the eyes are the voice of the soul’.
For today I wonder…
What do your eyes say?
What do the eyes of people around you say?
Do you dare to see it? Would you want to find out? Do you dare to know?
From the depths of your heart, make yourself time to stare at people’s eyes…
Give your child a name and your fluffy friend a life! A life lived from the heart… a life that challenges all those around … a life that comes from the heart and it’s there for you to find!
Live THE LIFE that others may not like – but it’s your life… not their life!
Speak! Jump! or Fly…
Dare yourself everything before you Die! Be the Child who dares to live life!

Yours in Life,
The Magnetic Soul
